Another slighter harder than usual offering today I thought, with some very well hidden definitions. COD 20d – ‘Cut some material for clothes (7)’.
Here’s the Fifteensquared blog, plus the ones missed.
Across
6 wAr PoEmS
10 SLA(N)G
12 T ISSUE
19 BACK HAND
21 T ERROR
26 LEMNOS – (melons)*
29 Hidden in LanD ROVEr
30 S LED
Down
1 FAST – Double Def.
4 CAG(N)EY
5 EXERTION – (tire oxen)*
9 Hidden in FrANTIcally
20 COSTUME – (Cut some)*
22 ROOT OUT – Sounds like ROUTE OUT
25 GOBS – Reverse of S BOG
I was impressed with 5d and 8d, where the anagram parts also formed part of the clue itself,although straightforward enough.
